The club's medical staff will begin to assess the midfielder with the hope he can play some part in Kiev, though training fully in Spain will be key to his chances, report the Liverpool Echo.

The 24-year-old is battling to prove his fitness in time for the Champions League final against Real Madrid in Kiev on May 26, with his contract also set to expire this summer, amidst speculation he will join Juventus on a free transfer.

Trent earns England call-up

Gareth Southgate has called up Liverpool teenager Trent Alexander-Arnold to his World Cup squad.

England under-21 right back Alexander-Arnold, 19, is uncapped at senior level, has not been in a squad before but was invited to train with the seniors at the last get-together for the friendlies with Italy and Holland in March.

It looks like being Southgate’s biggest surprise as, despite being tipped for the squad, to turn to a youngster at this late stage shows how highly the England boss regards Alexander-Arnold.

Southgate has been keeping close tabs on Alexander-Arnold for the last few months having watched his development through the age groups.
